Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial: Our Government Watching Everything, Says Gov. Ikpeazu

Abia State governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has said his Government is actively monitoring the situation with the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is an indigene of the state and currently under trial at a Federal High Court in Abuja.

The Governor says his government is committed to ensuring that the fundamental human rights of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic, are respected.

The Governor in a statement made available to ABN TV on Friday by the Commissioner for Information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu said the government is on touch with Nnamdi Kanu’s family and relevant institutions, receiving updates on the trial, expressing confidence that the trial will be manifestly fair.

He said, “We remain in touch with his family members, other relevant persons and institutions, and receive regular updates through them on the situation. The Abia State Government is confident that the judiciary will ensure a free and manifestly fair trial for him and others as they remain innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.

“We therefore wish to call on all citizens and visitors to continue to be law abiding and avoid any act that might lead to a break down of law and order.”
